ThingWorx 10 Debugger

Hi all,

 

Many of you I think attended the What's new in TW10 webinar yesterday.

The debugger in particular looked like something we have been asking for a long time, which is very good news.

I have been trying TW10 since june but have not experienced any good usefulness with the debugger.

  1. Even though I placed several breakpoints in the code most of the time it does not break there. Is there a difference if you place them in JS functions or outside? Shouldn't be?
  2. The information shown in the Variable section is most of the time useless. It shows 'com.thingworx.types' for instance on InfoTables.
  3. 80% of our mashups are showing grids of InfoTables. These tables are populated from parsing Windchill REST services JSON data, and this would be EXTREMELY useful so use the debugger for this.

What am I missing? Anyone else found the debugger useful? If so, care to explain?

 

BR,

Roger

I can confirm that the debugger in 10.1 works as expected and then some.

Really good tool for debugging ThingWorx now

In case you have any info page subscribed for such information then please let me know about it as i would also like to take such webinars. Thanks.

    Thank you for trying out the debugger (preview) which was part of our ThingWorx 10.0 release and sharing such detailed feedback—it’s extremely helpful as we continue to refine the experience.

    Here are a few points that may clarify what you’re seeing and what’s coming next:

    1. Breakpoints
      Without additional context it’s hard to pinpoint why breakpoints aren’t consistently triggering. During the beta phase we saw similar issues with template and shape services; those have been addressed in the upcoming release. If your breakpoints are set directly on a Thing and you still see inconsistent behavior, we’d love to gather more specifics.

    2. Variable View / InfoTables
      We’ve put considerable effort into improving variable inspection for the upcoming ThingWorx 10.1 release, including richer type handling and the ability to edit variables—specifically adding extra logic to work with InfoTables. These enhancements should make the Variable section much more useful.

    3. Mashups with InfoTable Grids
      The same variable-handling improvements mentioned above should significantly help when you’re debugging mashups that rely heavily on InfoTables populated from Windchill REST JSON data.

    4. Roadmap & Early Access
      The debugger feature in ThingWorx 10.0 was intended as a preview and a teaser for what’s coming in ThingWorx 10.1 (planned for December). If you’d like, we can arrange early-preview access in October–November so you can test the enhanced features ahead of time.

    5. Next Steps
      We truly value your input and want to understand your specific scenarios better. Please consider opening a Support Ticket through the PTC Support Portal so we can investigate your exact setup and use cases.

    Thanks again for investing the time to explore the debugger and share constructive feedback—it directly influences the improvements you’ll see in the upcoming release.

      Hello,

       

      Thank you for replying. I will find time to put together a reply to show the setup I have where breakpoints are not triggering.

       

      Yes, please sign me up for early-preview access to TW 10.1

      Hi @rogerjn 

       

      A case has been opened.  Note that TWX 10.0.1 was released last week, so it would be a good idea for you to test that version to see if any of the issues you found have been addressed.  And, of course, there are additional improvements coming in 10.1 which is targeted for December.   In the meantime, we can validate the behaviors you're seeing to determine if they have already been targeted for an upcoming release.

       

      Regards.

      Hi @rogerjn 

       

      I realize you were approved for testing a pre-release version of ThingWorx 10.1 for validating the Debugger functionality, and were able to confirm the issues you previously experienced were fixed.  Please be advised that the official 10.1 release was made available today, and as you know, it contains fixes to the previous issues reported.

       

      We would be very appreciative if you would mark the Accepted Solution for this post for the benefit of other community members.

       

      Regards.
